I do have one quibble: Russia deserves no blame for acknowledging that the US is its adversary, or for taking steps to preserve Russian sovereignty. While the Cold War is still going on, Russia (once part of the USSR) and the USA have switched sides. Russia is now the undisputed leader of the free world, and the USA under communist/pro-Muslim Obama has become the enemy of freedom, both at home and abroad.

Russia isn’t the undisputed leader of the free world; only Vlad Putin holds it together, and even now only out of a belated sense of self-preservation, but with nearly 50% of the Russian Army already being muslims, that can’t last. Lenin officially preferred muslims over white Russians, and Stalin coined the term “reverse discrimination” to force white Russians to Submit to islam!

Also, Russia wasn’t merely “part” of the USSR – it WAS THE USSR!

Other than that, I’ve got Diana West’s books, and admire her for trying.

Muslims do NOT form 50% of Russia’s army. That was from a demographic projection into the future that is unlikely to hold.

Russia was not the USSR. Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Christians were martyred by the tens of millions. The USSR was an evil communist empire that held just about the entire Slavic world in its sway. It’s gone, and it is up to you and me to make sure that it never reappears anywhere in the world.
